Description

In the fall of 1950 a survey was undertaken to determine the economic status and level of living of the Northern Cheyenne Indians as a basis for formulating a long-range social and economic program for the reservation. This report includes statistics and details on population, income (sources and amounts), housing and housing conditions, utilities, capital goods purchased, employability, education and cultural adjustments. It also includes a section on reservation resources (range land, dry farm land, irrigable land, timber and coal) and the use of these resources. Lastly, it discusses the Northern Cheyenne Steer Enterprise. The report includes a map of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, photos of the Birney “camp” and Indian homes typical of those found on the reservation, and a copy of the survey questions.
